You probably already know this but incase you didn’t. You can skip waste yarn by using your cast on tail as the cast off yarn, then just pull it into itself the tube will pull the ends together automatically and is super satisfying. I hope this helps someone!💜
@@sassegranny4700 Do a few rounds using a contrasting color waste yarn. Then when you begin to use the yarn for your hat leave a long strand laying in the center. It’s called the cast-on tail. Then finish all your rounds, fold your project in half so that the bottom round of your hat yarn (not waste yarn) is near the top stitches on the machine. Ignore the waste yarn. It’s there only to help you locate the yarn stitches. You can alternate picking up a stitch from the hat just after the waste yard, then a loop on the machines hook until the project is completely off the machine. Remove all the waste yarn. So, instead of using a separate cast-off strand, you have used the cast-on yarn strand to cast-off. When you cinch it tight, it pulls the top and bottom together in one fell swoop. You can tie a knot for a two-sided hat or put a pom-pom for a one-sided hat. I tried it and it works, but I had a hard time finding every stitch because I didn’t use any waste yarn. A contrasting waste yarn is essential for your first few rounds so that you can locate every stitch. Otherwise your hat unravels. Good luck.
So, I tagged you in instagram in the hat I made because you seriously just made me like my machine even more. I only got it yesterday but I was already feeling defeated because the hats I made until now were not the best looking. I didn't use two colours, (not ready for that) but I applied your technique to my single coloured hat and it looks 100% better than the first two hats I made. Seriously, thank you so much for putting this video up and I am seriously glad that I found this. Feel free to remove the tag, I just like to apply credit where credit is due. You have made my month with this. I have ADHD so if something doesn't go my way, I tend to quit, you just reinforced my motivation. Sorry for the long winded comment. Thank you so, so, so, much.
It is my absolute pleasure! Thankyou so much again for you kind words 😊 this has made my day! 💕 The knitting machine is great but it does take lots of trial and error. Once you get the hang of it it’s amazing! Enjoy! 😊💕
The technique was really good for the beanie. I will need more instructions I'm sure. I will be 75 in May, it is not easy but I will get it just dont give up. See you soon ..
American here, just got a knitting machine to make holiday hats for charity - thank you! Really appreciate the info. Added bonus: Your lovely accent :)
Can't wait to try this! Love that you made a mistake and showed how to fix it. My biggest knitting fear is not knowing how to do that. I can fix crochet mistakes to no end but knitting has always scared me! Thank you!
Hi Katieree, I just finally had the time to finish watching this wonderful video, as I am in school right now. Just want to say thank you for taking the time to make this video. I find using my machine to be very wonderful and relaxing. Take care, Mar
Fantastic!! I received my Sentro today and made a beanie according to your instructions. I'm so pleased and I thank you for this great instructional video.
@@BellaBownita that was a year ago, so I don't remember but most likely I did whatever she did in the video since it was my first creation ever on the Sentro. Have fun 😁
I really enjoyed this! I just got my machine today in the mail from Michaels it's the loops and threads machine. It's pretty fun. I know how to handle it already but this is just kind of a cool novelty to have especially when making a bunch of hats or something. Thanks for the great tutorial!
I am so glad I found you! If the makers of the Sentro don’t pay you or give you give you free stuff, they absolutely should! I was given a sentro by my husband for Christmas. I never wanted a knitting machine but I am a slow knitter and I think my husband had done the math and realized at the rate I knit my stash had exceeded my life expectancy so he wanted to help speed things along to get rid of the yarn all over our house 😂 To say the instructions that came with the Sentro were vague is a bit of an understatement. After cranking out my first test knit on it I was unimpressed and probably wouldn’t have bothered using it again until I found your videos! You’ve inspired me! Thank you!!
Great to have a Ozzie video. I am in Queensland. I have been watching so many reviews on this sentro knitting machine. I have ordered mine and waiting to try it out. Thank you
Great Tutorial! Thanks for sharing and thanks for detailed tutorial. I was scared to try it out but after watching your video, I'm excited and can't wait until I get my knitting machine. 🤗👍🏾
Hi Kate. Greetings from France ❤💐 A wonderful fantastic video tutorial. Your video popped in front of my eyes and I decided to watch it. No regrets. So well explained with much laughter and excitement in your golden voice and splendid accent. You really made me giggle when you forgot to tie in the ends before popping on your pompom. You were very sincere and showed us how you corrected your mistake. That was so moving. Each time I watch your other videos you make me smile and giggle😂🤣. I am new to this machine. I watched a recommended video a few days ago on how to make socks on this machine in less than 15 minutes. I immediately purchased one which arrived on 24.03.21. I take 4h to knit real socks, not tubes, on my CIRCULAR KNITTING NEEDLES and at least 8h for crocheted beanies. Your video was a great help for a 70 year old. Thanks for sharing caring and making me smile. A big hug from France 🥰🥰🥰👍👍👍👍👍💐💐💐💐💐💗💗💗💗💗
I tried to use the machine and I was left with holes and inconsistent stitches. Now that I've watched your video, I know how to change colors. I like the idea of the waste yarn. That leaves a very nice edge. Very good video, easy to follow. I will be subscribing. 😁
I find the softer the yarn the better! To be honest it’s lots of trial and error.. I’ve found that even certain colours of some yarn won’t work even though the other colours do. Crazy!! But in general I find 8 ply yarns work best 💗
Katieree, I so enjoyed your two toned beanie video, everything was so clear and easy to follow. Thank you. Thought I would buy you a coffee or soda as a thank you. Judi Oh, I live in Northeast Pennsylvania and my machine of choice is the Addi King size.
Hi Ms.Kate, just discovered your channel and you sure got my attention. You are so thorough in explaining how to work this machine. Please can this machine make a variety of other stitches like in crocheting? Looking forward to hearing from you. Thanks for sharing your passion, remain blessed and stay safe 🌹🌹💯👀
Hi Frances! Thankyou so much for your kind words 🥰 Unfortunately this machine can only do the knit stitch, but there are are so many things that can be made with it! ❤️ Thankyou for watching 🌻
I've just had my Sentro machine and I'm excited to try it out, thanks for the video, very helpful to a newbie like me :) UPDATE: Used for 1st time today (following day) and the counter stopped working at row 59 of 1st hat project :( the machine itself though is great!
Hi did you know you can get a row counter for Sentro machine on Amazon? I glued mine onto my Sentro machine with a glue gun, by using the smallest amount of hot glue (from my glue gun). The row counter is working great for me.
You are right! double layered beanies are more comfortable! Single layered are too loose (of course depending on the yarn! Do you have a tutorial on if/when stitches are dropped? On my first attempt at a 'double' I dropped stitches when attaching the second waste yarn - I sort of hooked the dropped stitches and by the time I cinched the top it sort of disappeared, but it would be nice to know what to do with dropped stitches. Thank you
@@ildikoesztergalyos7306 40 pin only does kid hats. U can put it on an adult head but it looks tight. 48 is most common for adult hats. 40 works good for cute earwarmer headwraps for adults thi
@@ildikoesztergalyos7306 I do, too! I've debated getting a Sentro... However, I've ordered just the round plastic looms for now to try the concept before I buy a machine. The Sentro is not expensive here in the States, but I want to be sure I like doing it and understand the basics first. I've crocheted for many years and love it. Then I saw a couple of tutorials on this machine and the more expensive large Addi, and it looked very interesting and fun. So.... Baby steps! I have tons of yarn and would love to make hats and scarves for the homeless or charities. Also little blankets for the ASPCA to help keep shelter animals warm when it's cold at night. I'm going to watch every video I can, maybe more than once, if they're good, like this one!. I'm getting a KB loom tomorrow, although the gauge is 3/8", which is a bit tight to learn on. I plan to use it for tighter knitting once I know what I'm doing. A Darice Loom set (4 circles in the wider gauge) is coming sometime this week. I'll learn on that one. Then.... If I love it like I think I will, I'll get a knitting machine. Good luck to all beginners out there. Please share what you're making so we can all be more and more inspired!

I'll donate to charities located in colder parts of the US, supply my sons with hats and scarves (who live here and in Southern California🥴) and send lots to my daughter and her partner in the state of Oregon, where it does get cold a lot.

Just subscribed to your channel. Love your videos. Please is there any way to reduce the size of the beanie using the 48 stitches size machine to make like a baby size?
Hi Sherry! This pattern is 40 rounds of the main colour, 50 rounds of the brim colour and then another 40 rounds of the main colour 🙂 Thanks for watching! ❤️
At primary school (I'm in South Africa) we had needlework as a mandatory subject years ago and when it came to knitting I was so bad at it I wish this machine had been around it would have saved me a lot of heartbreak lol
@@Katieree when I saw your video titled knitting I had flashbacks of all the knitting projects that had gone horribly wrong😂😂 but then I saw the machine. And that's pretty awesome I'm definitely going to look into getting one now❤
Yes! I don’t use waste yarn. There are many different colors and styles that you can make beanies with. Just have fun & enjoy the craft of hats scarves & ear warmers 😁
Hello I am a new subscriber. I wanted to ask if there is a video to make pompoms or maybe the weight of the yarn you made the pompom. It looks really fluffy. Thank you!
So how long do you have to leave the tail to gather them together in the end?? I may be getting one for Christmas and in super excited! Please answer back it would be so helpful later on ❤️❤️
Thank you for the video. I just got mine for Christmas. I just want to double-check on rows, so for the 2-toned beanie, it's 40 in the main color, 50 in the second color, and 40 main color? Just asking because I see some videos that make a two-toned and the row colors are all the same number. Like one person did 40 main, 40 second color, and 40 main again. Thank you for all your detailed videos. Happy New Year
hello! thank you for making this video! i was wondering: about how many yards of yarn this hat takes? (so i know how much yarn to buy) i appreciate you! :)
Hi. Love the video! Wanted know why you used the blue yarn? It was later removed .. so wanted to know why exactly we need to use that? Thanks again for this wonderful video
I just bought a gently used Sentro, I think it's a 40 or 48, have you Made baby sets on your machines, what's the best that this particular machine can handle?
Hi Thank you for the video!! I Check amazon and there are many Sentro 48 and they varies in price. Can you tell me which one to buy or an idea how to choose it. Thank you again.
We’re do I buy a machine the same as your plze Kate ..im in Melbourne near spot light at roxburgh park ..I no your not far away from me ..love your channel..love how you explain everything..love your puppy’s cuties ..Thanks
Hi Tracy! Thankyou so much 🥰 I purchased my knitting machine on eBay! Here’s the link 🙂 rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575608705&toolid=10001&campid=5338718432&customid=&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fitm%2F283526112098 Thankyou for watching! 💛
Hello, thank you for this tutorial. I'm going to test it but I'm wondering what kind of yarn did you use? Is it acrylic or some kind of mix? It looks really nice!
Great video but can you please show a close up of stitching it together at the end portion? I keep dropping a stitch and I’m not sure how that is happening. One time I could not pull it closed. Thank you in advance!
My pleasure! You can definitely do single layered beanies. I just prefer the double layer as they look and feel better. Single layered beanies can look a little cheap in my opinion.
Hi!! New to this machine and was wondering if you still have/use the sentro to this day!! I see that this video was 3 years ago so I am curious to how long they last before problems!!😁
During the last stop of joining the top and the bottom One,you say to match with the opposite direction right? What if i cant find the opposite stich for the One i'm working on?😅
Hey Sarah! That’s a great question. You will be able to make them slightly smaller by tightening your tension, but keep in mind you don’t want it to be so tight that it damages your machine. You can also achieve a smaller beanie by working a panel instead of a tube, seaming along the long edge to create a (smaller) tube and then finishing as per this video. So yes it can be done without having to purchase a smaller machine, it’s just a little more fiddly 🙂 I hope this helps! - Kate 🌻
You probably already know this but incase you didn’t. You can skip waste yarn by using your cast on tail as the cast off yarn, then just pull it into itself the tube will pull the ends together automatically and is super satisfying. I hope this helps someone!💜
Ooooh! Thanks!

@@Katieree when I saw your video titled knitting I had flashbacks of all the knitting projects that had gone horribly wrong😂😂 but then I saw the machine. And that's pretty awesome I'm definitely going to look into getting one now❤
Hahah the machine is a lifesaver!! ❤️ Thankyou for watching 🥰
@@Katieree and thank out for the tutorials. Take care❤❤❤❤
Yes! I don’t use waste yarn. There are many different colors and styles that you can make beanies with. Just have fun & enjoy the craft of hats scarves & ear warmers 😁
Hello I am a new subscriber. I wanted to ask if there is a video to make pompoms or maybe the weight of the yarn you made the pompom. It looks really fluffy. Thank you!
So how long do you have to leave the tail to gather them together in the end?? I may be getting one for Christmas and in super excited! Please answer back it would be so helpful later on ❤️❤️
Thank you for the video. I just got mine for Christmas. I just want to double-check on rows, so for the 2-toned beanie, it's 40 in the main color, 50 in the second color, and 40 main color? Just asking because I see some videos that make a two-toned and the row colors are all the same number. Like one person did 40 main, 40 second color, and 40 main again. Thank you for all your detailed videos. Happy New Year
Thanks!
My pleasure Judi! Thanks so much 🥰
So question I have a knitter with a row counter about how many rows do you use for a roll up beanie? That is without the scrap yarn I mean
This is fantastic!! Thank you so much for making this video :)
My pleasure! Thank you for watching 🥰
Доброго времени суток спасибо за видео. Очень симпатичная шапочка получилась. А какую пряжу использовали?
hello! thank you for making this video! i was wondering: about how many yards of yarn this hat takes? (so i know how much yarn to buy) i appreciate you! :)
Thanks
Hi. Love the video! Wanted know why you used the blue yarn? It was later removed .. so wanted to know why exactly we need to use that? Thanks again for this wonderful video
Hi Sonam! Check out my waste yarn video for a full explanation - ua-cam.com/video/xxzUjLAE2I0/v-deo.html
I just bought a gently used Sentro, I think it's a 40 or 48, have you Made baby sets on your machines, what's the best that this particular machine can handle?
Hi! Brilliant video. Could you tell me the row count for a youth size hat, a toddler size and baby size please
Hi Thank you for the video!! I Check amazon and there are many Sentro 48 and they varies in price. Can you tell me which one to buy or an idea how to choose it. Thank you again.
Hey Elisa!
You can find the link to my exact machine in the video’s description 😊
What does each section of color measure?

Hi Tracy!
Thankyou so much 🥰 I purchased my knitting machine on eBay! Here’s the link 🙂 rover.ebay.com/rover/1/705-53470-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5575608705&toolid=10001&campid=5338718432&customid=&mpre=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.com.au%2Fitm%2F283526112098
Thankyou for watching! 💛
This was so interesting. I know this hat would fit me but what do I do if I need a larger size?
I'm not sure anyone would need a larger size than this. I have a pretty big head and this fits me 🤣
Nice :))
Thanks 🇧🇷
You’re welcome 😄
Hello, thank you for this tutorial. I'm going to test it but I'm wondering what kind of yarn did you use? Is it acrylic or some kind of mix? It looks really nice!
Thanks so much! This is 100% acrylic
I learned a lot. How would you clean up a panel using the waste yarn though
Hey Jane! You may find my new waste yarn video helpful 😊 - ua-cam.com/video/xxzUjLAE2I0/v-deo.html
I wish you showed a closer view of sewing up the waste yarn. I keep missing something and drop a stitch when I pull out my waste yarn.
Hey Laura, I now have a waste yarn video on my channel. You can find it here - ua-cam.com/video/xxzUjLAE2I0/v-deo.html if you're still interested 🙂
How many rows would you do for each if it was 3 colors?
Great video but can you please show a close up of stitching it together at the end portion? I keep dropping a stitch and I’m not sure how that is happening. One time I could not pull it closed. Thank you in advance!
Thanks for a very good video! Just a question - do beanies always have to be doubled (mainly for warmth!) or is it okay for it to be a single layer?
My pleasure! You can definitely do single layered beanies. I just prefer the double layer as they look and feel better. Single layered beanies can look a little cheap in my opinion.
Hi!! New to this machine and was wondering if you still have/use the sentro to this day!! I see that this video was 3 years ago so I am curious to how long they last before problems!!😁
I had this machine up until about 6 months ago when I upgraded to the Addi! But it was still in perfect working order. I ended up selling it 😊
Trying to figure out what happens on round two
During the last stop of joining the top and the bottom One,you say to match with the opposite direction right? What if i cant find the opposite stich for the One i'm working on?😅
Hi just wondering can these be made into child or adult or do you need different size machines?? Xxx
Hey Sarah!
That’s a great question. You will be able to make them slightly smaller by tightening your tension, but keep in mind you don’t want it to be so tight that it damages your machine.
You can also achieve a smaller beanie by working a panel instead of a tube, seaming along the long edge to create a (smaller) tube and then finishing as per this video.
So yes it can be done without having to purchase a smaller machine, it’s just a little more fiddly 🙂 I hope this helps!

What tightness did you use? I’m sorry I didn’t hear you mention it in the video?
Usually just the medium tension setting with this yarn 😊
U can make so many different colors and styles of hats scarves & ear warmer, with this 48 needle Sentro 😁
Absolutely! 😁
